What's up, guys. I'm on day 01/90. I discovered this website some days ago and I really think that this year I'll quit P/M, even though I have a long way to go I'm felling confident. Best wishes to you all!
Hello there! Joining in on the 90 Day Challenge, Let's Go! Just a short background into my pornography addiction: I've looked at pornography since I was 13 years old, got to my early 20's and my addiction was impacting heavily on my life (in a serious negative way) so I decided to quit. Last 10 years I have been attempting to purge myself of this horrible, destructive habit. Having runs of a few days up to 100+ days. I have found a really easy way for me to help myself quit: I call it "Success" 1. I will never look at pornography ever again in my life, PERIOD. 2. When the idea of looking at pornography comes into my mind, I will: a) See these feelings for what they truly are: NOT MINE b) Remembering WHO I AM and how much that means to me c) Relishing in the TRUTH and PLEASURE that I am free from pornography and its negative effects on my life. 2. When the negative effects of pornography come into my mind I will: a) Cold Shower b) See these feelings as a passing, fleeting moment in time c) Relish in the TRUTH that in going through these feelings, I am purging myself of pornography's effects on me, and in doing so it is making room for ME to flourish. This is my plan. I call it "SUCCESS" because I feel like there is no bigger achievement and reward in life than purging myself of this addiction. I hope this helps anybody out there reading!
Day 02/90. It was a bit hard, but I survived. I'll keep it going, there is a long way to go. Best wishes guys !
Hey man! Don't let that Day 0 get to you, you have reset, now give it your all!! Remind yourself that being free from this disease is one of the greatest achievements of your life, EVER. Much love to you <3
Day 12: Easy as, just have these impinging feelings of the porn monster within me dying. Feelings of powerlessness and anger, but nothing I can't handle. Anybody else know what I'm talking about? Anyways, I WILL NEVER LOOK AT PORNOGRAPHY EVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE. PERIOD! This statement is so powerful for me because it proves that pornography is not a part of my life. This means that I am free from this fucking disease that has haunted me for years. I AM FREE!!!!!! Much love to you all <3
Those urges are NOTHING compared to who you are and your desire to be free from Pornography. NOTHING!! Much love to you bro <3
Day 42. I feel really, really, good and am very happy about the direction I am moving in. For the most part, I feel so far that I've removed the presence of lust from my interactions with others and that my behaviors are aligned with my values - seeing and treating others as whole human beings - whereas before I was using sex as a coping mechanism to help manage stress/trauma etc, which was quite destructive to my relationships.
